The two girls would soon after leave to do some foraging. Though even with Pylia’s guidance to tell you what to look for, it takes you both a good hour before you can find any useful herbs. You gathered as much as you can before Pylia says that you’ve found enough, but now you need one more type of flowers for some potions she can make. These might be slighter harder to find, but you still have some time left. Just have to head to the beach.

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Nito, for foraging I’m fed Gunna need a nature check from ya.

Looking around the tree some more you eventually do find a coin purse smartly hidden between the cracks of the rocks. It was a single pouch containing a combination of coins worth about sixteen gold. Not much, but it was something at least. Other locations or looked around didn’t yield anything of note aside from sturdy sticks or a sizable rock, so overall it seemed like that was everything here.

“If you’re done, we’ve still plenty of time to look around, so some foraging. If we hunt wolves we could sell their pelts for a good price too, now that we have a hunting knife to skin them properly.”

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Roll me a perception check if you will.

Hidden in the tree was a leather satchel that looked like it was still open, likely when the goblin got up here. It was somewhat heavy for you as you climbed down to check it’s contents. The first thing you found was a lantern: with a bronze frame and glass around the burner, this would be a handy-hands off way to provide light in the darkness. Near the lantern were three clay bottles. Pylia checked this and confirmed they’re some sort of oil, likely corn oil, meant for the lantern. Finally tied to one of the clay bottles was a wrapped bundle of matches though Pylia called them tindertwigs. They functioned just the same though; strike them against a rough surface to get a small flame going

Aside from the oil was the tools that Dirk had mentioned having. Including the knife that the goblin used, which appeared to be a sort of hunting knife, there was a sickle, a hatchet, and a light hammer. There was also a length of rope and a few wooden stakes in the bag as well. Everything but the knife seemed rather dinged up and in rough condition. Sure enough whatever Dirk was using these for, he used them roughly. “Doesn’t look too bad. Let me work my magic on these when we’re back in town and I can fix them.”

Finally there was some miscellaneous items. There was a single thick fur blanket, very heavy and in dire need of a washing. There was a small copper ocarina on a string too. It was a little dinged up but doll played well. Hidden at the bottom of the bag there was a rusted iron ring. It was terribly rusty and faintly stained with blood. And finally there was the satchel itself. It was smaller than your backpack but lighter and easier to carry. It looked rough and dirty, but if you got it cleaned and fixed up it might actually look somewhat fashionable. At the very least it would be a good place to store more important adventuring gear such as potions and weapons, whilst free I g up your backpack for heavier traveling items.

The goblin was startled when you managed to barely deflect his knife even after he tried to sneak attack you with it, and he was certainly shocked as you threw your own knife right at him, slicing a good part of his ear off. Your unarmed strike shook the tree a little but didn’t seem to do anything except cause the goblin to hold onto the tree, but that was the exact moment Pylia casted her second spell. ^Summon Holy Fire.^ This time as a radiant flame descended upon the goblin he wasn’t prepared to avoid it, setting him aflame with a searing white fire. He screamed for a short while before falling to the ground, his body reduced to ash. Only his equipment, some scraps of leather armor and his club, was left.

Looking around there didn’t seem to be anymore enemies. Though Pylia was still going to be on her guard. “Why don’t you see what’s in that tree? I’ll keep an eye out for any danger and clean up these bodies.” Using her magic Pylia was able to quickly burn the corpses into ash, keeping out eye out for more danger while you do what you wish to do.

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Ah you are correct, for some reason I thought it was 15. That what happens when you don’t double-check. Lemme edit that for ya.

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

As the goblin got ready for another smash, your staff caved it’s skull in, and your elbow smash knocked it into the ground. That was three out of the four goblins taken care of, but the forth was hiding somewhere. Pylia stood defensively looking towards the tree, getting ready for when the goblin might show itself. And sure enough he did, armed with a knife that he threw right at you. Just as it was about to strike you however, you were able to knock the blade aside without cutting yourself, causing it to bury itself into the dirt.

However this was the moment that Pylia was waiting for as she opened her hand open, her knife being gripped loosely with her thumb and index finger. {Creation Fire!} this created a small ball of flame that illuminated the shade, allowing the both of you to see the goblin. And with this small ball of flame Pylia hurled it towards the creature, hitting him squarely as his armor started to burn.
